UPDATE: The statements below have since been denied by Harrison Ford's representatives.

It would be if Harrison Ford has his way. Ford hopes to kill off Indiana Jones in the upcoming film.

It is being reported that Ford recently told George Lucas and director Stephen Spielberg that he wants Indiana Jones to be killed off in a fifth and final adventure.

An insider made the followign statement to ShowbizSpy

“Harrison thinks it would be good for Indy to die and pass on his hat to his son in the next one,” reveals an insider.

“George especially is resisting the notion but Steven is considering it. Funnily enough Harrison wanted the same for Han Solo in the final Star Wars but George put an end to it. This time he doesn’t have all the say though.”

As a lifelong fan of Harrison Ford and the Indiana Jones series, I would prefer to see him just retire after this film and not be killed off. I can not begin to imagine the idea of Jones dying. What are your thoughts?
